Noticing the look in his eyes, Li Zhengye looked at him with surprise and said, “Yeah? What else can they do?”

The long-haired man gave a proud smile and said, “They are three times stronger than before when they were still alive, and they are able to control ordinary zombies. Moreover, they can be used as bombs. If we create an army of them, we’ll never need to worry about the invasions or zombie attacks.”

Li Zhengye responded uncertainly, “I understand that they can be like bombs, but you said that they are able to control ordinary zombies. Is that real?”

“Why can’t they?” said the long-haired man, “All we need to do is to control them and make them control the other zombies. We need more dead soldiers like them to strengthen our army. So, I’m gonna tell you how to create dead soldiers like them, then you’ll be doing it. I’ll go back and keep watching that level-nine crazy man to see when he’ll die. He has been crazy for months. I feel that his energy is being consumed very intensely. When he ran out of energy, his life-force will be next to be consumed.”

“Oh,” Li Zhengye had his eyes glowing, “Are you saying that he’ll soon be dead?”

The long-haired man blinked, then raised a hand before his eyes and put his fingers together. Looking at that hand, he said, “When his body runs out of energy, it might explode like this… boom!”

While speaking, he suddenly spread his fingers.

A delighted look emerged from Li Zhengye’s face as he nodded and said, “Alright! I’ll do what you have said, and you have to get me that level-nine energy nucleus. Even if you can’t, you mustn’t let anyone else get it.”

“I get it,” the long-haired man nodded and said.

Li Zhengye then asked him about how to create zombie soldiers.

What the long-haired man gave him was some drug. He asked Li Zhengye to find a batch of superpowered people, then inject the drug and zombie blood into their bodies. That was how simple it was.

Those people mustn’t be volunteers. The ones who weren’t willing to die would have a strong psychological reactance or a strong thirst for life. That was why they could preserve a slight trace of human subconsciousness after death. That subconsciousness wouldn’t wake them up, neither allow them to tell right from wrong. All it could do was allow them to follow orders and instructions.

“Where did you find these people?” Li Zhengye asked the man. Those few people didn’t look like Sky Fire Base people.

The long-haired man gave a cold smile and said, “They are not from our base, of course! You want them to resist after all. The ones you saw were from Green Mountain Base, and the ones outside are from Huaxia Base.”

Li Zhengye gave him a wicked smile and said, “Si Kongchen and Lan Lu will kill you sooner or later. Aren’t you afraid?”

The long-haired man snorted with a scornful laughter and said, “A lot of people want to kill me. But to kill me, they need to find me first. Oh, I just said that I have a message for you. The Chief lady from the East is actually a zombie. Did you know about that? Are you surprised?”

Li Zhengye was stunned by what he heard. He popped his eyes in shock as he stared at that man and said, “What? Are you kidding? She doesn’t look like a zombie at all. You think I’d believe it?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The man calmly gave him a glance and said, “Believe it or not. I haven’t verified that message yet. But, I suggest you keep the secret, and for the best, you might as well… capture her.”

The long-haired man’s eyes, which were covered by his long hair, glowed with a weird light. They were containing an excited, curious look that was also toned with the color of violence, madness, and thirst for blood.

“If she’s really a zombie, she must be much more valuable than the ones we have created. Think about it… That zombie looks exactly like human beings, can talk, and is strong enough to build a new base. Furthermore, she is so beautiful and charming! How can we let such a special zombie lady disappear?”

Li Zhengye wore a strange look while looking at the man’s face. He seemed to be a little scared, and also helpless.

“Alright. I get it. But first, I need to know if what you said is real. Where did you hear it from?” He asked.

“From Lan Lu, accidentally,” the man responded blandly. The weird look on his face was gone.

“Does Lan Lu know about it too? How come he’s still working together with All Beings Base?” Li Zhengye doubted it.

The long-haired man glanced at him and said, “Lan Lu knows more than we do. If I hadn’t been watching him lately, I wouldn’t have heard about that by accident. Leave it! Just find a way to verify the message. Then, we’ll make decisions.”

At that moment, Lan Lu, Chang Qingqing, and Hu Ba were sitting together with bitter looks in Green Mountain Base’s temporary station.

“Things would be bad for Miss Lu if the secret leaked out, right?” said Chang Qingqing with a frown.

“If she hid the secret well enough, those people wouldn’t know if what we said is true or not. Later on, we’ll spread the word that what they heard was not real. I think it’ll be fine,” said Lan Lu with a bitter smile.

“Hopefully, she can cooperate with us about this… But, we are far away from All Beings Base. Messages travel slow nowadays…” said Chang Qingqing.

They needed to deliver the message to All Beings Base, to the Chief lady, and keep it from being heard by the person who accidentally learned the secret from Lan Lu. Therefore, they could not use helicopters.

“Roar…”?‘You leaked the secret. You think of a solution.’

Hu Ba gave Lan Lu a glance.

“Anyway… just find someone who can do the job and put him into action. Apart from Miss Lu, we also need to inform Wu Chengyue about it. If he found out himself that I leaked his wife’s secret, he’d kill me!” Lan Lu looked at the other two with a very bitter face.

Hu Ba rolled his eyes up to look at the ceiling, deciding not to do anything about it. The man who caused the trouble should solve it by himself.

Chang Qingqing knitted her brows and thought for a moment, then said, “Maybe we should send Lei Cheng and Yingyue. Erlei is not as fast as helicopters, but nothing that moves on the ground can be faster than him.”

Lan Lu sighed, “Eh, I suppose there’s no better way. It’ll be a little hard for Erlei to carry two people through such a long journey. We can only send one of them.”

“Yingyue then… The mission is mainly about delivering the message. Yingyue has a space. She’s not a strong fighter, but is better at escaping than Lei Cheng,” Chang Qingqing nodded and said.
